    Hello all and hope everyone is fine and doing ok.

    Today marks 1 year of formally being in the shave den.
    So I thought I would use some of the same stuff I used a year ago.
    20190609_074252.jpg

    Using my Murker 23c and a Shark blade I found them to be less than expected.
    I started out on this combination and was quite pleased with the results at that time. Now the lack of blade exposure and the dullness of the blade left me wanting.
    Installing a new Feather blade did little to help on the second pass. It did stop the pulling, but....
    So, retrieving my newly acquired Monobit and installing a new Feather blade for the head shave, that made me feel much better.
    The brush was ok and the soap made an easy task of the work on the old gord and mug.

    So in 1 year I've went from a mild mannered DE shaver to, well where I am now. Using two new Feather blades per shave with a efficient razor, shaving every day both the head and face.
    The shave was ok, but not to the standarded I'm used to. I was scratchy about 4 hours out, so uh no.

    I guess I should THANK ALL of the enablers that kept cheering me on as time, razors, blades and technique continued to grow with each passing post.

    Now trying to get to the dark side, I have a new quest. ;)
    Let the enabling begin!:happy093:


    Thanks Everyone
    I couldn't have done it without you!
    Enjoy
